Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

Can she also please tell that to Austria?
Hey don't worry. Here the Nazi party that won general elections has direct ties to Putin. They like sucking that dick while blaming immigrants for everything, including the weather/climate change.
The irony is that the german nazis (AfD) is also heavily helped by austrians and grew thanks to austrians Nazis.
Austrians once again being off the hook for nazis in germany xd
Hitler was a fully integrated German. Being stupid was up to us, and is up to us again. No matter how much Austrians or others support fascists, it is possible to say no, and we have to, because there is nobody who does it for us.
What's that even supposed to mean? He Anschluss'ed Austria basically the first chance he got.
Austria is not to blame for that, like they are also not to blame for Germany electing a former Austrian.
Well it's not like Austria put up much of a fight... But anyway, my larger point was that Hitler, like many other people on both sides of the border, was explicitly opposed to the national distinction between Austria and Germany. They thought that the founding of the German Reich to the exclusion of Austria in 1871 was a mistake and that Austria should be part of Germany. So saying that somebody born in Austria, who believes Austria is part of Germany, is "a fully integrated German" (as opposed to Austrian) doesn't make much sense I think.
That's a good argument.
Wasn't it Austria though that didn't want to join a Prussian led Germany?
Yeah, but the Prussian led is the crucial bit there. Austria wouldn't have had one bit of a problem with a German Reich led by the Austrian monarchy, which is conversely something Prussia was unable to accept. Catch-22 type situation. Hence the split.
There isnt much "integration" needed for austrians in germany. XD austrians are as germans as bavarians
Die schieΓ Kanaken verstecken Hochdruckgebiete in ihrem Keller und lassen sie dann im Sommer raus.
Damn immigrants bringing their hot weather up here, makes me so angry.
In the US, that's how they do, you knowβjust drive around listening to raps and shooting all the jobs.
